Barack Obama has shared the news of his reunion with the baby boy who was holding his hair during his presidency.

When Obama heard the question, he nodded and allowed Jacob to touch his hair. The image of Obama bowing in front of a baby boy quickly caught people’s attention. The picture appeared with the caption ‘Hair just like mine’
Obama tweeted that he met Jacob in an online conversation 13 years later. Obama noted that the film was a favorite of his and that today Jacob has successfully completed his high school education. When asked if he remembered me during the online meeting, Jacob replied that he remembered until he said, “My hair will be gray when I see you again.” Obama laughed and added that I was not lying.
